This presentation applies to
FTTH
(Fiber to the Home/Premise/x
GPON, BPON, EPON)
and
RFOG
(RF OVER GLASS)
Let’s say you are going to place FTTx to
all living and business units
in the city below :
Or you are going to place cable
in a new development:
Where should the hub/headend/
central office be placed?
How many feeder routes?
Where should the feeder routes be placed?
Where do the branch feeder routes go?
Where should the feeder boundaries be placed?
Where should the splitters be placed?

Generally, Density Center is more critical

CONCLUSIONS
1. PON AREA SIZE IS MODERATELY SENSITIVE:

SMALLER PONS PUSHES IDEAL SIZE BIGGER
2. SPLITTER COST ARE FAIRLY INSENSITIVE WHEN SELECTING

3. CO ELECTRONICS COST ARE FAIRLY INSENSITVE WHEN

SELECTING CABINET SIZE
4. TAKE RATE IS VERY SENSITIVE WHEN SELECTING CABINET SIZE
5. CABINET COST IS MODERATELY SENSITIVE WHEN SELECTING

6. MOST ECONOMICAL SIZE CENTERS AROUND 256 WHEN ALL

FACTORS ARE CONSIDERED
(MOST SENSITIVE TO TAKE RATE, PON SIZE, CABINET COST)
OUTSIDE VALIDATION:
Anupam Banerjee, Marvin Sirbu
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA
“Towards Technologically and Competitively
Neutral Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Infrastructure”
“……even for an optimistic take-rate, it is optimal to

aggregate about 192-224 homes (6-8 splitters) in an
urban deployment and 96-128 homes in a rural
deployment. In the urban context, the lowest cost
architecture – taking into account the additional
fiber related costs and OLT port savings – has an
OFAP (Optimal Fiber Aggregation Point) size of
about 200 homes.”

Fiber Drop Design:
1. Design for about 8 drops per closure
2. Use 2 fiber drop to have a spare fiber

available
Fundamental Planning and Design
Lessens Learned:
1. Have a long range plan to follow to make sure
all the pieces fit together in the end
2. Manage budgets over the years to meet targeted
build dates
3. Proper cable sizing for the entire network
4. Plan approval up front streamlines approval process

• No risk of long wavelength hydrogen aging loss hydrogen aging loss
• Minimizes degradation of strength and break • Particulate inclusions can lead to degradation
